It has 3 rotating blades you can see and probably a 4th in the ground. It looks like it would have been good for cutting off corn stalks, in the days before tractors and bushhogs. Hook up to a mule and pull it right down the row. Back then farmers used to bundle corn stalks into shocks to feed cows during the winter.
Google "Antique corn stalk chopper" for a video on Machinery Pete for a similar rig
